Is Putin About To Deal His Long-Awaited Deathblow To The EU Economy
Is Putin About To Deal His Long-Awaited Deathblow To The EU Economy
He just ordered that some of Russia’s LNG exports to the EU be redirected to Asia, and if the EU doesn’t coerce Zelensky into giving him giving him more of what he wants in Ukraine, then there’d be no reason for him to not cut off Russia’s exports to them entirely for catalyzing a full-blown crisis.
The EU agreed late last year to end Russian LNG imports by 31 December 2026 and pipeline gas imports by 30 September 2027, with the possibility of extending the deadline till 31 October 2027 in case storage levels are below their required filling levels. This was done because “The US Weaponized Russophobic Paranoia & Energy Geopolitics To Capture Control Of Europe”, ergo why it encouraged this decision so as to then monopolize the bloc’s energy market in tandem with its Qatari ally, another LNG superpower.
Everything changed with the Third Gulf War, which began with joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran and has since seen Iran retaliate against all of the Gulf Kingdoms on the basis that the US infrastructure on their territories is being used in attacks against the Islamic Republic. The Strait of Hormuz is now effectively closed and the Gulf Kingdoms are scaling back energy production due to nearly reaching their storage capacity. Importantly, Qatar is also shutting down its gas liquefication, which will take weeks to restart.
It’s for these reasons that an energy crisis is expected which might surpass the one during COVID and even the 1973 Arab oil embargo in terms of its global disruption. With Gulf oil and gas pretty much out of the picture for now, the only realistic recourse for stabilizing the market is to return Russian resources thereto, which contextualizes why the US just temporarily waived sanctions on India’s purchase of Russian oil. The EU might also ramp up its gas imports from Russia ahead of its self-imposed deadlines.
With the impending global energy crisis in mind, Putin announced last week that he ordered his government to look into the possibility of redirecting European energy exports to Asia since they’re more profitable and won’t soon stop importing Russian energy completely like the EU will. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak then confirmed shortly thereafter that the decision was just made to redirect some (keyword) LNG exports from Europe to friendly countries such as India and China.
The scenario of Russia cutting off gas exports to the EU before the EU cuts off its gas imports from Russia is still on the table, but Putin seems more interested in leveraging this possibility in furtherance of his strategic goals than eschewing such an opportunity just to punish his Western adversaries. To that end, Novak’s confirmation that he decided to redirect some LNG exports from Europe to Asia can be seen as proof of Putin’s intent, but he’s also signaling interest in reconsidering if certain conditions are met.
These are the fulfilment of his goals in Ukraine: Russia’s control over the entirety of the disputed regions, Ukraine’s demilitarization and denazification, the restoration of its constitutional neutrality, and no foreign troops there after the conflict ends. He also wants to begin negotiations on reforming the European security architecture so that it’s less threatening to Russia and is suspected of wanting Zelensky not to run in Ukraine’s next elections. Not all might be achieved, but some likely will, though.
It’s at this moment when the EU is facing an economic crisis caused by the Third Gulf War taking the region’s energy exports offline that the bloc must decide whether it will coerce Zelensky to give Putin at least some of what he wants in exchange for him not redirecting LNG exports from them to Asia. The US might help them with this too so as to maintain the purchasing power of one of its largest markets. If they fail to do so, however, then Putin might finally deal a long-awaited deathblow to the EU economy.

DePaul target Mia Gage wins state title with Nazareth as freshman, like Stella Sakalas, who finishes with one
NORMAL, Illinois — Nazareth’s Mia Gage drove to the basket, was fouled and hit two free throws. Then she made a steal and went coast to coast for a layup.
That flurry during the Class 4A state championship game against Loyola on Saturday night was nothing new for the 6-foot freshman guard.
“Mia has been so good all season,” Nazareth junior guard Sophia Towne said. “We’ve put so much on her, but she’s done so much for us. We always forget that she’s a freshman because of how much she does.”
What Gage did early in the second quarter started a 16-0 run, and the Roadrunners rolled from there to prevail 55-23 and win their second state title. She finished with 11 points, five rebounds and five steals, and Towne scored a game-high 17.
“The fact that she can go out there and play her game and be able to put on such a performance is amazing,” Nazareth senior forward Stella Sakalas said of Gage.
Gage, who has three offers, including one from DePaul, credited her teammates.
“Knowing that they were there for me and I could lean on them when the game was getting hard helped a lot,” she said. “We know that we have five people that can defend, and that if I make a mistake, somebody is going to help me get back. If I don’t get this steal, it’s OK because my teammates are there to help me.”
The Roadrunners (34-4), who scored 40 of the last 50 points against Loyola (35-2), also won the Class 3A state title in 2023, when Sakalas was a freshman.

Antetokounmpo anota 27 y los Bucks vencen 113-99 al Jazz para cortar racha de 4 derrotas
Associated Press
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo anotó 27 puntos, capturó nueve rebotes y repartió ocho asistencias la noche del sábado, y los Bucks de Milwaukee cortaron una racha de cuatro derrotas al vencer 113-99 al Jazz de Utah.
Antetokounmpo logró todo eso pese a jugar apenas 27 minutos, mientras los Bucks siguen controlando la carga de trabajo del dos veces MVP en su regreso tras una lesión. Milwaukee disputaba su tercer partido desde que Antetokounmpo volvió de una distensión en la pantorrilla derecha que lo obligó a perderse 15 encuentros consecutivos.
Utah ha perdido ocho de sus últimos nueve partidos. El Jazz había puesto fin a una racha de siete derrotas el jueves al ganar 122-112 en Washington.
El Jazz no contó con su máximo anotador, Lauri Markkanen, por un pinzamiento en la cadera derecha, ni con Isaiah Collier por motivos personales. Varios otros jugadores de Utah ya han sido descartados para el resto de la temporada.
Kevin Porter Jr., de Milwaukee, se perdió un segundo partido consecutivo por una inflamación en la rodilla derecha.
Antetokounmpo no fue el único jugador de Milwaukee que coqueteó con un triple-doble.
Ryan Rollins sumó 13 puntos, 11 rebotes y ocho asistencias. Ousmane Dieng aportó 11 puntos, nueve asistencias y ocho rebotes.
Keyonte George anotó 22 puntos y Brice Sensabaugh agregó 17 desde la banca para Utah, que lanzó apenas para un 34,4% de campo y acertó 12 de 49 en triples. ___

US Intelligence Community Assessed That Massive US Attack ‘Unlikely’ To Oust Iranian Regime: WaPo
US Intelligence Community Assessed That Massive US Attack ‘Unlikely’ To Oust Iranian Regime: WaPo
Even a massive military assault on Iran is unlikely to topple the Islamic Republic of Iran and its state system, according to a classified assessment produced by the US intelligence community shortly before the US and Israel launched their current ‘shock and awe-style’ military campaign on Tehran. The Washington Post first reported it, perhaps based on some kind of leak or briefing by an anonymous intelligence official, and calls it—
a sobering assessment as the Trump administration raises the specter of an extended military campaign that officials say has “only just begun.”
File image: Tulsi Gabbard is the United States Director of National Intelligence
The report, compiled by the National Intelligence Council (NIC) roughly a week before the war began, concluded that Iran’s political system is structured to survive even major leadership losses, The Washington Post reports. However, this should really come as no surprise to anyone awake and observant throughout the past two plus decades of America’s ‘nation building’ efforts in the Middle East, from Afghanistan to Iraq to Libya.
Already, Israel and the US have touted that ‘all’ of Iran’s top leadership has been decimated, and yet clearly the governing system and its military – led specially by the elite IRGC – is not only in control but is still fighting back.
According to the assessment, Tehran has long prepared for such contingencies – and likely there’s an emergency plan now in place in the wake of Ayatollah’s Khamenei’s death.
Intelligence officials say Iran long ago established clear succession protocols designed to maintain continuity of power even if senior leaders are killed. In other words, the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would likely trigger an internal transition process rather than cause the system to collapse – again, something which should be the obvious scenario.
The intelligence report also poured cold water on the idea that Iran’s opposition could quickly fill any power vacuum. US intelligence analysts assessed that the country’s fragmented opposition movements remain too divided to seize control, regardless of whether Washington pursued limited strikes against leadership targets or a broader assault on state institutions.
Equally unlikely, according to current and former US officials familiar with the analysis, is the prospect of a spontaneous nationwide uprising. We could speculate that this possibility may have had a chance of some degree of success within the opening one or two days of the mass US-Israel bombing campaign, but it clearly didn’t materialize.
Welcome to U.S. elite foreign policy discourse, where you have to stroke your chin and muse thoughtfully about whether it’s a good thing to trigger state collapse and civil war in a nation of 90 million that didn’t pose an imminent threat. https://t.co/EWCLpZrIwF
— Marcus Stanley (@MarcusMStanley) March 7, 2026
On this prospect WaPo quotes Brookings:
“There’s no other force within Iran that can confront the remaining power that the regime has,” Suzanne Maloney, an Iran scholar and vice president of the Brookings Institution, told The Post. “Even if they’re not able to project that power very effectively against their neighbors, they can certainly dominate inside the country.”
The National Intelligence Council synthesizes the analytical work of all 18 US intelligence agencies, and produces classified estimates meant to guide policymakers on major geopolitical risks.
Much of the American public, raised on Hollywood movies, tends to have an overblown and inaccurate understanding of US intelligence agencies like the CIA. While the CIA certainly has a very powerful and secretive covert, operations side (and an even tinier Ground Branch) – the bulk of its personnel and overseers/top officials are analysts. So there is an overt side and a covert side, with the analyst side tasked with providing the IC and White House with a ‘realistic’ picture of the world, ideally devoid of policy or ideology. Their job is also often to ‘game out’ all worst possible scenarios, given a certain course of action.
The report says the prospect of Iran’s fragmented opposition taking control of the country is “unlikely,” raising doubts about Trump’s declared plan to “clean out” Iran’s leadership structure and install a ruler of his choosing pic.twitter.com/YaHwgoWB9d
— John Hudson (@John_Hudson) March 7, 2026
Meanwhile, the White House has not said whether Trump was briefed on the assessment before approving the operation. But likely such an assessment would have made it into the CIA’s daily briefing for the president, also given reports from last week that the Pentagon also tried to inject some realism in terms of the ‘unknowns’ once Tehran is attacked.

Carlos Alcaraz se estrena con victoria en Indian Wells y está 13-0 en 2026
INDIAN WELLS, California, EE.UU. (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz sigue invencible en 2026.
El número uno del mundo prolongó su inicio perfecto de la temporada al despachar el sábado 6-2, 6-3 a Grigor Dimitrov en su debut en el Abierto de Indian Wells.
Alcaraz quedó 13-0 en lo que va de la campaña con una exhibición a la par del nivel dominante que llevó al español a la conquista de los títulos del Abierto de Australia y luego el ATP 500 de Doha. A sus 22 años de edad, hizo historia en Australia al convertirse como el hombre más joven en completar el Grand Slam en la carrera.
Avasallador con su derecha, Alcaraz apenas afrontó una situación de quiebre ante el búlgaro Dimitrov, igualados 1-1 en el segundo set. Capitalizó tres de cuatro oportunidades de rotura contra el actual 42 del ranking y sentenció la victori al cabo de 67 minutos.
“Sabía que iba a ser difícil con las condiciones”, señaló Alcaraz tras su triunfo en la segunda ronda. ”Con el viento de hoy, se hizo más difícil y creo que adapté mejor mi juego, y por eso gané el partido. En general, estoy muy contento con lo que he hecho”.
“Disfruto jugar aquí”, añadió sobre un torneo en el que se coronó campeón en 2023 y 2024.
Alcaraz también llegó a las 31 victorias al hilo en canchas rápidas al aire libre. No pierde en ese entorno desde un revés ante David Goffin hace casi un año fue hace un año en la segunda ronda del Abierto de Miami.
Su rival de turno será el francés Arthur Rinderknech, quien avanzó sin jugar tras el retiro por lesión del argentino Juan Manuel Cerúndolo.
También el sábado, Novak Djokovic (3er cabeza de serie) se llevó un susto en el primer set pero acabó imponiéndose 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 ante el polaco Kamil Majchrzak. Fue el primer partido del serbio desde que perdió ante Alcaraz en la final de Australia a inicios de febrero
Con 38 años, Djokovic se convirtió en el segundo hombre más longevo que alcanza la tercera ronda en Indian Wells. Quedó por detrás de Ivo Karlovic, quien tenía 40 años cuando alcanzó esa instancia en 2019.
En otros resultados, el argentino Francisco Cerúndolo avanzó con una victoria 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (5) sobre el francés Benjamin Bonzi y se citó con el campeón defensor Jack Draper. El británico (14to preclasificado) doblegó 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 al español Roberto Bautista Agut.
El brasileño Joao Fonseca eliminó 4-6, 7-6 (7), 6-4 al ruso Karen Khachanov (16to cabeza de serie).
En la rama femenina, Iga Swiatek y Elena Rybakina se apuntaron victorias con cierto de dificultad ante oponentes estadounidenses.
La polaca Iga Swiatek, campeona de Indian Wells en 2022 y 2024, dio cuenta 6-0, 7-6 (2) de Kayla Day. Rybakina, la kazaja que se coronó campeona del Abierto de Australia, empleó tres sets para superar 7-6 (5), 2-6, 6-2 a Hailey Baptiste. Además, la rusa Mirra Andreeva arrasó 6-0, 6-0 a la argentina Solana Sierra.

El Pentágono y la FAA acuerdan hacer pruebas de láser antidrones en Nuevo México
Por JAIMIE DING
El Pentágono y la Administración Federal de Aviación (FAA por sus iniciales en inglés) acordaron llevar a cabo pruebas de un láser antidrones en Nuevo México, después de que el despliegue militar de un dispositivo de este tipo obligó a la agencia de aviación a cerrar el espacio aéreo sobre Texas en dos ocasiones en el último mes.
Las pruebas tienen como objetivo “abordar específicamente las preocupaciones de seguridad de la FAA”, indicó el Pentágono el viernes en un comunicado. Se tiene previsto que los ensayos se lleven a cabo el sábado y el domingo en el Campo de Misiles White Sands, en Nuevo México.
Legisladores expresaron su preocupación debido a una aparente falta de coordinación después de que el Pentágono permitió que la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza de Estados Unidos (CBP por sus iniciales en inglés) utilizara un láser antidrones a principios de febrero sin notificar a la FAA.
En respuesta, la agencia de aviación decidió cerrar el espacio aéreo sobre El Paso durante unas horas, lo que dejó varados a muchos viajeros.
El gobierno federal afirmó que estaba trabajando para frenar una incursión de drones de cárteles mexicanos, que no son poco comunes a lo largo de la frontera sur.
El 26 de febrero, el ejército de Estados Unidos utilizó el láser para derribar un dron “aparentemente amenazante” que volaba cerca de la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México. Resultó que el dron pertenecía a la CBP, señalaron los legisladores.
El incidente llevó a la FAA a cerrar el espacio aéreo alrededor de Fort Hancock, a unos 50 millas (80 kilómetros) al sureste de El Paso.
“Agradecemos la coordinación con el Departamento de Guerra para ayudar a garantizar la seguridad pública”, señaló la FAA sobre los ensayos. “La FAA y el DOW están trabajando con socios interinstitucionales para abordar las amenazas emergentes que plantean los sistemas de aeronaves no tripuladas, al tiempo que se mantiene la seguridad del Sistema Nacional del Espacio Aéreo”.
El ejército está obligado a notificar formalmente a la FAA sobre cualquier acción antidrones dentro del espacio aéreo de Estados Unidos.
La senadora Tammy Duckworth, la demócrata de mayor rango de la Subcomisión de Aviación del Senado, había pedido previamente una investigación independiente luego de los dos incidentes del mes pasado.

Objetos perdidos: Madonna tiene la camiseta del Celta de Vigo que el club buscaba
VIGO, España (AP) — Madonna ha respondido al llamado del Celta de Vigo, que buscaba una camiseta que la estrella del pop vistió hace más de tres décadas y de la que se había perdido rastro desde hace mucho tiempo.
La celebridad estadounidense respondió el sábado a un pedido de información sobre el paradero de la camiseta del club español con una publicación en red social X en la que afirmó que aún conservaba la prenda.
“¡Esta camiseta está colgada en mis bodegas! ¡Estoy vistiendo y representando a su equipo en espíritu!”, manifestó Madonna.
El Celta había publicado esta semana una carta abierta a Madonna en la que le preguntaba si todavía tenía la camiseta celeste y blanca del Celta que usó durante un concierto en 1990 en el estadio de Balaídos, la casa del club gallego.
“Con el tiempo llegamos a comprender mejor lo que representabas entonces: cuestionar las normas establecidas y plantarte ante quienes intentan decirte lo que puedes o no puedes hacer”, escribió la presidenta del equipo, Marián Mouriño Terrazo. “En nuestro club nos reconocemos en esta línea de pensamiento. Por eso mantenemos la esperanza de encontrar la prenda que una vez llevaste.
“¿La tienes? Si sabes dónde puede estar, o si te gustaría unirte a nosotros en la búsqueda para recuperarla, por favor contáctanos por mensaje privado”.
La publicación de Madonna en redes sociales fue una respuesta a un video difundido por el club con una interpretación musical del éxito de Madonna de 1989 “Like a Prayer”, en el campo de Balaídos por un coro de mujeres, acompañadas por una orquesta de cuerdas, antes del partido del viernes contra el Real Madrid.
